Exercise 1: Read the passage carefully and decide whether statements are True, False or No
information
What happens if, or when, robots are more intelligent than us? If we are going to start to see robots
running around with personalities equivalent to human beings, in fifteen or twenty years It is about time that we start thinking about that now These machines are being developed What will be the ultimate
effect of this? Should they be allowed to make decisions regarding the application of labour force? What form and how intimate should human-robot relationships become? Is it a good or bad thing if robots
become our natural successors and we fade into extinction?
Today's computers operate using transistors, wires and electricity Future computers might use atoms,
fibers and light A new NASA-developed computing device allows machines to work much like the
brain This technology may allow fast-thinking machines to make decisions based on what they see A
planetary rover might use this technology to avoid obstacles A spacecraft might use the technology to
avoid hazards and identify a pre-selected landing site with very high precision The device works much
like the brain, whose power comes from the complex networks of interconnections called "synapses"
between brain cells Networks of these brain cells, called neurons, allow humans to make instant
decisions based on an observed image or scene
What might the world be like, if computers with the size of molecules become a reality? There will be the types of computers that may be everywhere, but never be seen Bio - computers with very small size will target specific areas inside your body Imagine the ways that billions of tiny, powerful computers will
change our society
Câu 1: In the future, robots will take place of the human labor force
Câu 2: Human beings will be in danger of extinction due to robots' destruction
Câu 3: So far, the scientists from NASA have developed machines, which work in the same way as the
brain
Câu 4: A new NASA-developed computing device can help a spacecraft avoid hazards and identify a
pre-selected landing site with very high precision
Trang 2A True B False C No information D Not given
Câu 5: New computers in the future will have such a small size that they cannot be seen
Exercise 2: Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer
In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around for
a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells
becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy A solar car is a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into
electrical energy As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth
of one second (.001), the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet's energy needs for the next 5,000
years It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one Since the energy from the sun is responsible for
renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not only cars, but for the entire energy crisis Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least
feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more
specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed How do Solar Cars work?
The photo-voltaic cells absorb photons from sunlight This action generates heat, which the cells then
convert into electrical energy and stores in an on-board battery This process of conversion is called the
photovoltaic effect Not surprisingly, such a vehicle has zero emissions, and is very environmentally
friendly Unfortunately, at the moment photovoltaic cells are extremely inefficient, yet as time progresses the efficiency of these cells will grow This will make solar energy and solar cars the fuel and car of the
future-a closer reality

A up to now, we have designed some solar cars
B solar cars have been very popular for many years
C we have not produced any solar cars yet

A wind B heat from the moon C the sun D tide
Trang 3Câu 9: According to the text, _
A no powered solar devices have been developed so far
B besides solar car, we have also developed solar powered device
C solar energy plans are more feasible than wind energy plans
D tide can supply more energy than the sun
Câu 10: The photovoltaic effect is _
A the process of operating a solar car
B the process of absorbing photons from the sun
C the developing of solar cars and solar powered devices
D.the converting of heat from the sun into electricity

Consider activities that most take for granted, particularly those who live in industrialized nations: drinking a glass
of water; driving a car or traveling by mass transportation; living in a decent house or apartment; using modern
household appliances; using tools to build, fix and repair; even breathing fresh air These activities improve our
quality of life Have you considered that to do all of the above requires the availability of natural resources,
whether used as raw materials or in finished products?

diets, similar to Western industrialized nations The subject of natural resources has been in the news for years The media has long reported that the world's supply of oil, minerals, fresh water, and lumber are in danger of running
out Yet very few people take this seriously

clean water, while 40% are without access to proper sanitation services
